Don’t Throw Out Grandma’s Old Cabinets: This ‘1990s British Trick’ Transforms Them Without Sanding

Countryside & style

There is a story behind every design. Either human or house. It is good to listen to him and respect the place, do not forcefully place modern furniture. On the contrary, we often use authentic elements in a new guise. Here, we painted the old beams white, which visually increased the space.

Special emphasis is placed on the floor. Stylish country patchwork on the pavement is the basis. Actually, if the floor is dominant, you don’t need to worry about the furniture, combinations with neutral tones are usually enough.

An interesting element is the sliding door with black fittings and a rail. Their disadvantage is that they are not perfectly soundproof, but if they do not separate the bedroom from the living room, I definitely recommend them.

The color comes alive beautifully

How to give old things a new look? Simply with furniture chalk paint developed in 1990 by British artist Annie Sloan. It is renowned for its simplicity and iconic velvet matte look.

I liked it because in most cases you can apply the paint directly to the surface without the need to remove old paint or sanding.

Heat from the stove

Heating rural buildings is an eternal topic. But did you know that there are electric tiled direct heaters, moreover, made in the Czech Republic? An ingenious and tasteful solution.
There are also different colors and stove motifs to choose from.
